MANUFACTURING CONFECTIONERY.

Application filed September To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, SvnNNINe DREYER, a subject of the King of Denmark, whose residence and post-office address is 965 Broadway, lVoodcliff, county of Hudson, and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inManufacturing Confectionery, fully described and represented in the following specification, and the accompanying drawings, forming part of the same.

This invention relates to certain improvements in articles of confectionery especially such confectionery as is made in the shape of tablets or disks, which tablets may be assembled in a suitable number into different shapes or configurations, such as bouquets, stars, crosses, etc. Each tablet is enclosed in a suitable wrapper, as paper or tinfoil, and a few differentcolors of wrappingmaterial may be employed. Such a collection of tablets made into any chosen grouping or shape, will present not only a very attractive article of .sale,but also a very sanitary embodiment of this sort of confection.

The object of the invention is to furnish a protective covering, for blocks or. pieces of candy, which covering may serve to secure a stem or holder to the block, or tablet, and also to connect'a group of such blocks in an attractive design adapted to exhibit the confections in an ornamental combination.

These objects are effected by shaping the candy into tablets of such form as to retain a wire upon their surface and provide a projecting stem by which the tablets may be held together in a group of any desired design.

By shaping the tablets as round concaved disks the wire is held securely upon the disk and its projecting ends are twisted together, to retain the tab-lets in the group selected. The tablets in such case resemble the petals of a large blossom and exhibit the candy in a most attractive form.

The several tablets are secured in the form of the group desired by twisting their respective stems together and the group presents the appearance of a unitary structure, by fitting a collar to the combined stems; in this manner an imitation of many natural flowers may be effected. All these oniamental eifects are based upon the winding of 8, 1923 Serial No. 661,599.

the wire around the tablet and the twisting of the severalwires together to hold the tablets in a group of the desired form.

The parts of the group are thus held together for display and for sale and when bought for consumption the several stems in the group are readily untwisted, and the covering of each tablet unwrapped therefrom. In case the wrapper is applied over the wire coils which encircle the tablets, it is evident that the removal of the wrapper leaves the twisted wire stem attached to the tablet, serving asv a handle to support the same while the candy is consumed.

ln'the said accompanying drawings Figure. 1 represents a front view of said improved article of confection in the form of a tablet. Figure 2 is a top "view of said tablet showing it bent or incurved. Figure 2 is a section on line 2-2 in Figure 1. Figure 3 is a vertical transverse section on line XX of Figure 1. Figure 4c is a perspective view of one oval tablet with the wire wrapped thereon. Figure 5 represents a number of tablets assembled into one arbitrarily chosen configuration, shown here as a bouquet.

Similar characters of references denote corresponding parts throughout the several views.

In Figure 1 A represents a piece of confec tion preferably made in the shape of a circular tablet or disk having a slight inward curvature as illustrated by B in the top view Figure 2. The body or tablet A is wrapped in paper or tinfoil C to protect it and has wound over and around it a piece of thin wire E as shown in Figure 1; the wire resting upon the bottomv of the curve; said wire encircling the body A, may also separately be wrapped in paper or tinfoil of similar quality as that employed in covering the tablet or body A; or the covering with said paper or tinfoil may be effected in different ways, as hereinafter set forth.

One end of said wire is projected from said tablet to form a handle or stem D which may be twisted into different con figurations; the other end of said wire is, after being wrapped around said tablet twisted around itself or around its'stem as shown at D in Fig. 1, in such a way as toform a compact union with said candy.

This wire or thread may of course be substituted by any semistiff thread-shaped material, such as celluloid, cane straw and the like without deviating from the punciple of this invention; one of the essentialin Fig. 5.

The connection of this piece of confection with a wire, Or the like, may also be efifected as shown in Figure 2*, by placing the wire directly around and upon the .confection where, in casethe shape of a tablet is preferred, this tablet has its deepest curvature; and then afterwards covering the tablet and the piece of Wire with paper or tinfoil; in this way a secure hold is given the wire upon the tablet'or piece of con fection. Still anotherv way'to combine the tablet and wire is to cover; or roll the tinfoilupon the tablet andfasten the end pieces of the same around thatpart of the wire or thread that surroundsthe tablet and passes over the outwardly curved side, as shown by E in Figure 2 When the wire is thus covered by the tinfoil it forms a ridge along the middle the tablet, like the veinor rib on a plant which adds to the beauty of the structure materially. 7

hile the curvature on the tablet serves as a seat or resting place for the wire, it also strengthens its hold upon the tablet, besides increasing the beauty of these tablets, when they are assembled into different groups; but. it is evidentthat a flat piece of confection that is a' disk or tablet without. curvature would serve a similar purpose;

When the tablets are assembled in a group, the beauty of the whole may sensibly be increased by fitting a paper collar or doily to the handle .of the group, as shown at G in Figure 5. Such a collar not only improves'the appearance of'the group, but protects-the tablets against accidental abra- It will be understoodthat the covering of this confection is of ornamental character, so as tobeautify any group into which it is assembled.

Havingthusdescribed my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Pate ent is 1. The combination, with a. group of candy tablets adopted'to be assembled to imitate a flower. blossom having ,eacha wire wound around its body and its end projeeted and twistedtogether, ofa handle suited to supportthe entire group, and formed'of theprojected ends 'of all the wires secured together as by twisting and a paper, doily fitted to said twisteden'ds forprotecting 'the tablet againstabrasions,

2. An ezihibit of confections comprising a group of tablets each'having a body of candy, a wire qonnected'theretofa tinfoilcover for said body and wire to imitate flower petals and'leave ribs, said wire having its end extended therefrom and-twistedtogether formin a handle to'support the group, and a doily. embracing; the group to give'ita unitarycharacter; I V

3. An exhibit ofconfeotions comprising a group of tablets, each having a body of candy, a wrapper enclosing the same, a wire looped, and extended around each body, with its ends projected from the candy and twisted together, forming astem to support the tablet, the several stems'united together to form a handlefor supporting the entire group and a paper doily secured on said stem tovprotect the confection against abra-- sions and damage.

In testimonywhereof I have hereunto set my hand. i SVENNING DREYER. V
